Dear Alain and all,
Sorry for sending an email, but my post was in march,
and I cannot remember my username at mutt. And I couldn't
find a way to retrieve the data...

Sorry, but I don't know why you said it does not work.
For me the script works very well when applied to messages with
'unweeded' headers, that is, when full headers are showed.
Or even 'alone', i.e., when applied to a mail with a command
such as 'cat <messagefile> | script.pl'.
BUT it doesn't work when the headers are weeded: it does
nothing then. This inconsistency must be due to mutt.
Could you please send me a simple perl line like mine that
does work? I tried for a long time trying to make it work,
trying to guess what mutt was doing (adding tabs or something
like that), without any success. That is what took me to the
conclusion that this is a mutt bug...

Certainly.

I would prefer to call it a bug because it is inconsistent.

Any part. Display-filter does not work for any attachments.

Ok.

Oops, sorry.
Thanks!!!
Luis.
PS:
Is mankind ready for mutt 1.6 ? Because mutt
1.6 should already be ready for mankind... :)
PPS:
BTW, mutt shows for the mutt-users mailing
list the attachments like this:
I 1 Index [text/plain, 8bit, us-ascii, 0.5K]
I 2 <no description> [multipa/digest, 8bit, 26K]
I 3 |->200605/478 [message/rfc822, 8bit, 2.5K]
I 4 |->200605/479 [message/rfc822, 8bit, 3.0K]
I 5 |->200605/480 [message/rfc822, 8bit, 2.5K]
I 6 |->200605/481 [message/rfc822, 8bit, 3.0K]
I 7 |->200605/482 [message/rfc822, 8bit, 2.0K]
I 8 |->200606/1 [message/rfc822, 8bit, 1.6K]
I 9 |->200606/2 [message/rfc822, 8bit, 1.6K]
I 10 |->200606/3 [message/rfc822, 8bit, 3.3K]
I 11 |->200606/4 [message/rfc822, 8bit, 1.4K]
I 12 `->200606/5 [message/rfc822, 8bit, 3.0K]
These numbers '2000605' are useless. It would be much better
if the subject is shown (like with vim mailing list).
Why is this? Am I doing something stupid?
